Start a Ming Dynasty plane

Autumn is crisp and sunny, and it is a good season for harvesting wheat.

This year Zhangjia Town has a bumper harvest of grain, and everyone has a smile on their faces. Whether it is the host family or the wheat guest they invited, their faces are all beaming with joy at this time. After all, seeing this yellow wheat, who would not Are you in a good mood?

This wheat grows in the ground and is called crops. When it is harvested, it is put into the house to be called grain. When it is ground into flour, it is put into a cage and called food. If it is eaten into the mouth, it is life.

Daming has been turbulent for so many years, and everyone has experienced what it means to be hungry, so they know the preciousness of food. Those who don't know the value of food are rich and rich, and those who have not experienced hunger will have childish ideas.

Li Dingguo put down the sickle in his hand, straightened his waist, and skillfully bundled the wheat that had been cut down just now into bundles, and piled them together. A special bullock cart would be behind to collect the bundles of wheat.

After tying up all the wheat that had been cut down just now, he stretched out his arm and wiped the sweat from his forehead, picked up the water hyacinth on the ground and took a big gulp. This endless wheat wave, wished he could roar aloud.

During this period of time, he traveled with Wang Jiadong from north to south, from Hubei to Henan, and saw countless tragedies in the world. The people there were hungry, poorly clothed, all of them were yellow and emaciated, as thin as sticks, with hollow eyes, as if they were not alive.

Large tracts of land were left uncultivated and overgrown with weeds. It looked miserable. Li Dingguo was used to seeing all of this, and along the way, he didn't think there was anything unacceptable about this scene, but here , see the thriving people here, see the elderly and children here live happily.

Especially when he saw the yellow and endless wheat fields, he felt that this is the life a person should live.

People are not afraid of suffering or difficulty, but they are afraid of comparison.

People who are used to living a hard life will take it for granted, and even live in peace and contentment, but if they find that another place is living a life like a fairy, this comparison will tilt the balance of people's hearts.

Li Dingguo, who is used to seeing tragedies in the world, feels unreal for a while when he sees the thriving Lantian, Wufu and Minfeng. This is not an illusion.

But this kind of thinking didn't last long, because Li Dingguo grabbed a wheat ear, crushed it in his hand, and blew off the husk of the wheat mango, a handful of yellow-brown wheat grains appeared in his hand, and he threw the wheat grains into his mouth. A real wheat fragrance burst out from the mouth.

At this moment, Li Dingguo was sure that everything was true, and everything in front of him could be deceiving, only the wheat that he ate into his mouth would not deceive people, and the food would not deceive people.

"Hey, Dingguo."

Li Dingguo was in a daze, when Wang Jiadong shouted at the side. Li Dingguo came back to look at Wang Jiadong. Since coming to Lantian, his mental state has changed, and his spirit is not the same as when he was in Zhang Xianzhong's barracks.

It seems to have become more comfortable and more at ease.

"Ding Guo."

Wang Jiadong yelled again, Li Dingguo looked at Wang Jiadong and said, "What are you doing?"

"Don't you brag that you are also a good hand at crop work? How do you compare?"

Li Dingguo looked at the Maizi in front of him and laughed and said, "Just compare."

After speaking, he picked up the sickle on the ground, hung the water hyacinth around his waist, and then began to cut the wheat frantically with the sickle, as if the wheat in front of him had become a stumbling block on his way forward.

"Whoever stops me will die!"

Li Dingguo shouted angrily, brandished his sickle and rushed into the wheat field.

Seeing that he was so crazy, Wang Jiadong was not to be outdone, picked up the scythe on the ground and rushed out. For a moment, the two of them were like two harvesters. Straight scolding mother: "Whose family's melon baby is this."

That's right, everyone was going forward at the same time, but the two of you rushed out and pulled a bunch of people behind you. This made the host see it and think you were waiting for someone to be lazy.

Thinking of a group of Macs also began to speed up.

At this time, the owner of Lantian, who was standing on the high slope watching Maike harvesting the wheat, couldn't help laughing and said: "Those two young men really worked hard, and they even mobilized the group of lazy donkeys. Let the family know that dinner will be given to these two young people today." Add a piece of fat meat to the younger generation, and he will work hard, so we can't neglect him."

After hearing this, the housekeeper said: "Shopkeeper, this meat is precious."

But the head of the family laughed and said: "You old man, don't talk too much, we are from Lantian, not the old landlords and old fortunes of the past. If we work hard, we must feed them well. Otherwise, wouldn't we be ashamed of Lantian?"

After hearing this, the butler said, "Yes, it's because this old slave is thinking too much."

"Bullshit, how many times have the county lords said that slave trading is not allowed, all relationships are employment, you old slave, old slave, people hear that I am a landlord and rich, I am serious now Lantian businessman, you will call yourself me in the future."

After hearing this, the housekeeper said, "Shopkeeper, I've been your housekeeper for half my life, and I'm used to it."

"Habits have to be changed. This is related to the reputation of our Lantian."

"Yes Yes."

The housekeeper replied that the host was satisfied at this time. He used to be a wealthy family in Dali County. Although his property was confiscated later, he slowly started doing business again by virtue of his knowledge ahead of ordinary people and following the command of the Lantian policy. Accumulate wealth and become rich again.

Lantian does not exclude the rich, because a large part of the rich before this era are literate, and literacy represents advancement and can lead the development of Lantian.

Therefore, all the policies of Lantian only guarantee human rights on a basic basis. For example, everyone has land, and ordinary people enjoy various rights, but this does not restrict people from creating wealth with their own wisdom.

Lantian gave everyone a fair starting point, whether they were rich or poor, after the arrival of Lantian, their starting point was the same, the difference was that after the start of the race, some people started farming and strolled at home after farming, while some Rich people with experience, and some people with active minds, take advantage of the slack time, or plant a la carte to sell vegetables, or go to work in the city, or make tofu, or...

Anyway, these people took advantage of this slack time, and they accumulated the first initial capital, and then took advantage of the booming development prospects of Lantian, and began to grow like a snowball.

This is unstoppable, and Li Chaosheng has no reason to stop it.

Li Chaosheng can't force everyone to enter the same starting point again and again. Those who are capable work harder, and those who work harder get more. This is something that everyone recognizes.

And only by getting rich first can the envy of those who get rich later be envied. Envy gives motivation, and motivation can promote social development, and in this way, Lantian can develop rapidly.

Some people say that Lantian hates the rich, but in fact, Lantian is still very friendly to the rich. As long as you pay taxes on time and act in accordance with the laws and regulations stipulated by Lantian, Lantian does not restrict the rich. They are allowed to wear silk and satin, use luxurious carriages, You can hire maids, servants, butlers, long-term workers, etc.

Even their children can go to school freely, and it is not impossible to be an official in the future. This is the treatment that Lantian gives to the rich. People who are poor have no wives, and Lan Tian will force the rich to marry their wives, concubines, and even daughters to the poor.

Frightening some wealthy landowners, they would tremble at the thought of Lantian County, for fear that their wives and daughters would be handed over to the poor.

But anyone who has actually been to Lantian knows that this is nonsense, and Lantian doesn't do this kind of thing.

"Haha, Dingguo, I won."

Until the sky was getting dark, Wang Jiadong happily put down his sickle, and looked at Li Dingguo who was dissatisfied. At this time, the host also called everyone to stop work and start dinner.

The mikes, who were left behind by the two, supported their waists, groaning, and slowly moved closer to the wheat field, especially when they were near the owner's house. Everyone declares how hard and hardworking they are for a few days.

Li Dingguo also rubbed his waist at this time. This farm work is really different from marching and fighting. Marching and fighting, such as two armies facing each other, fight with explosive power. Li Dingguo has very strong explosive power, so he fought against Wang Jiadong on the battlefield. If so, he will definitely win, but this farm work is a matter of endurance, and Li Dingguo is slightly inferior to Wang Jiadong.

The two came to the wheat field. At this time, a middle-aged woman brought a group of people to serve the group of wheat guests. The meals of the wheat guests were very good. Today they ate fried noodles.

The mikes were all very happy, and the food in Lantian is better. When Li Dingguo and his wife arrived, the mother-in-law filled a large bowl of noodles for them, and then took them out of a small basin with a lid on the side. Two large pieces of meat covered their faces.

"Young students, eat, eat more."

The mother-in-law said to Li Dingguo and the two with a smile, and when she saw Wang Jiadong, she laughed and said, "Thank you, auntie."

The mother-in-law was even happier when she heard this, who doesn't like a sweet mouth.

Li Dingguo also nodded his head, and saw that the other mikes had quit, arguing that the master was biased, and the mother-in-law scolded angrily after hearing this: "You lazy bastards still have the nerve to say such things, the two youngsters were cut off in one afternoon today. The cuts are more than what you cut in a day, if you are so capable, I will tell our master that I will give you a lot of meat every day."

After hearing this, a group of mikes shut up, no one has much to do, but this group of mikes is also scolding Li Dingguo in their hearts, these two donkey dung balls, what are you doing so fast? One more day of delay, one more day of money.

Wang Jiadong didn't care about the gossip of these mikes, but Li Dingguo gave all the mikes a cold look. When all the mikes saw Li Dingguo's eyes, they didn't know why, and felt guilty all of a sudden.

The mother-in-law saw that Li Dingguo was able to live in shock, she couldn't help being happy, and took out two boiled eggs from the basket on the side, and each of them shared one and said: "Good young man, you work hard, my aunt can't lose you, this meat Let's eat it every day, and make these bastards mad, by the way, do you have a family?"

The two shook their heads in unison.

The mother-in-law smiled and said, "Okay, if you don't have a daughter-in-law, my aunt will give you a clatter to see if anyone has recruited a son-in-law for the elderly. It is not easy for us to get into Lantian, but if you can be recruited as a son-in-law for the elderly, then we will give you a son-in-law." The chief intercedes, maybe you can be naturalized, and when you become a native of Lantian, a good day will come."

After hearing this, Wang Jiadong smiled and said: "That's a good relationship, please ask my aunt to Zhang Luo Zhang Luo."

After hearing this, the mother-in-law smiled and said: "Okay, but this is an opportunity, so there is no rush."

The mother-in-law looked at the wheat in the distance and said, "Oh, okay, the harvest will be finished in ten days. At that time, after paying the public grain and giving some to the tenants who cultivate the land, I should be able to have [-]% left. That's a good idea." Not a bad year."

After hearing what the mother-in-law said, Li Dingguo on the side looked at the mother-in-law puzzled and said, "Your family's fields are finished, and you can only get [-]%. Is the tax burden on Lantian so high?"

After all, according to Li Dingguo's cognition, this kind of landlord's family usually has a bumper harvest. They can get [-]%, the government [-]%, and the tenant farmers can get [-]%. How is it possible to get only three layers?

The mother-in-law shook her head and said, "Lantian's tax burden is not high, so it only takes up [-]% of it, and the rest is all owned by tenant farmers."

"what?"

This is the first time Li Dingguo heard that tenant farmers can occupy the bulk of the land. What kind of trick is Lantian playing? [-]% of the landlord’s family, [-]% of the tax burden, and the remaining [-]% belong to the tenant farmers?

Are you talking nonsense?So who is the tenant farmer and who is the landlord?

Li Dingguo was shocked by Lantian's behavior. At this time, the mother-in-law said: "Why are you so surprised? This is how we came to Lantian. In fact, you don't have to be surprised, because my large land is not all mine. The family has less than [-] mu, and the rest belong to tenant farmers.

"what?"

Li Dingguo couldn't understand again. The mother-in-law saw that Li Dingguo's two younger generations were pleasing to the eye, so she explained the reason again. All the land in Lantian belongs to the public, and the public land is distributed to the common people. The common people have many choices. The first is to cultivate by themselves. For example, high-yielding crops such as corn, potatoes, and sweet potatoes.

The second is to grow wheat. Due to the low yield of wheat, people seldom like to cultivate it. However, wheat tastes good and the demand of urban residents is great, but the people themselves are not willing to grow it because of the risk. How does the yield of wheat compare with that of corn?
Therefore, there is a gap in the market. Such courageous and intelligent people sign contract contracts with farmers. You will plant your land for me, and I will guarantee your annual harvest. Then you will cultivate the land for me, and I will return it to you. You count wages.

In this way, the people get two incomes, the first is the money for contracting the land, and the second is the money for the cultivation of the land as tenant farmers. The sum of the two moneys is [-]% and a half.

Landlords, that is, land contractors, after a lot of trouble, took away [-]% of the net profit, which is not considered a disadvantage, and these land contractors earn a share of the money, one household gets [-]%, what about a hundred households?What about five hundred households?

So these land contractors make a lot of money, and ordinary people earn more than they grow corn. This is a very good and healthy development.

Li Dingguo's eyes widened after hearing this, and it took him a long time to say: "Can you still play like this?"
